It is almost time for the American Royal and the World Series of BBQ contest! The American Royal is being held at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Oct 1 – 4th. Cookshack and Fast Eddy will be cooking at the Open in spots G253 and G268. Cookshack and Fast Eddy will be competing using the FEC100 pellet smoker and the PG1000 pellet grill. The Fast Eddy’s by Cookshack FEC100 is the choice of many teams on the competition circuit. So far over 30 teams are using Cookshack equipment to compete at the American Royal.

Feeling lucky? Register for the Fast Eddy’s Poker Tournament that will be held on Thursday night at 6 pm for a chance to win an FEC500 on a trailer. It is worth over $21,000! Friday night they will be hosting a get together, stop by for some food and fun! The Cookshack Team would love to spend time with you.

You cannot win if you do not play!

Why do countless pit masters prefer the FEC100? Former American Royal Grand Champion, Todd Johns of Plowboys, considers his twin FEC100 a member of his cooking team. They handle his fire management. He can cook by himself, and he does not have to worry that his

temperatures will not be consistent. He can roll into a contest at 6 pm, prep his meats, and be ready to cook quickly. The FEC100 puts you in control so you can concentrate on your flavor profiles and making those turn-in boxes!

The FEC100 features a digital Cookshack IQ5 controller that lets you set the smoke, cook and rest time and temperatures. The heat and flavor source comes from the 100% food grade wood pellets. This pellet heat is controlled by a fully automated pellet system that produces very little ash as compared to stick burners. If you want more a deeper smoke flavor, Cookshack offers the optional smoke enhancer for all Fast Eddy’s™ by Cookshack pellet smokers.

Are you ready to add a spin to the classic potato salad? Try smoking it with some delicious but non-traditional potato salad ingredients. Cookshack has two varieties for you to try. Either of these could be made using a Cookshack Electric Smoker or Fast Eddy’s™ by Cookshack Pellet smoker or grill. We have served these at cooking classes and cooking demonstrations. We seldom had leftovers!

The first recipe is from Chef Ryan from Sysco, Norman and was prepared and eaten at a recent cooking demonstration. This is served chilled like a classic potato salad.

Summer is almost over but that does not mean the end of grilling when you use a Fast Eddy’s™ by Cookshack Pellet Grill.

The PG1000 features an insulated lid and full shelf on the bottom, while the PG500 features a utensil holder, pellet drop feed system, and is non-insulated. Just make sure that you use a cover on your pellet grill if storing the unit outside.
